Notes from our Igluski Experts

"An excellently located ski in-ski out chalet right on the piste, the Pierce Neige is built in the traditional Savoir style, but with a modern cosy and light interior. An excellent choice for skiers wanting to experience the huge Portes du Solei ski area."

Chalet Violetta - Avoriaz, France

This attractive chalet has a superb location in Avoriaz. It sits right on the edge of the piste, perfect for the easiest possible morning start and for skiing directly back to the doorstep at the end of a day’s skiing.

A high standard of accommodation is offered throughout, with modern, light-pine bedrooms, and a bright and airy open-plan living area with French doors opening out onto a snow-terrace. The chalet also has its own private sauna.

The Violetta is a semi-detached chalet being an exact mirror image of the adjoining Perce Neige, with a shared main entrance to both properties and shared stairs to the lower floor,where each one has an allocated ski and boot room. Otherwise they are separate, and individually hosted and catered. Approximate Transfer time to resort: Geneva 1 hour 45 minutes

Meals - Chalet Violetta, Avoriaz

We set very high standards for our cuisine, and train our staff extensively before the season starts, to ensure that you will thoroughly enjoy every meal on your own holiday with us. We also take our Health and Safety responsibilities extremely seriously, so all our chalet and Chalet Hotel staff during the pre-season training course are trained to the Chartered Institute of Environmental Health’s Level 2 in Food Safety*. For six days of the week our staff prepare all your meals, as described below.

BreakfastA good breakfast is essential on a ski holiday, so we provide both a cooked breakfast including your choice of bacon, eggs, sausages and beans, as well as a continental selection with a choice of cereals or porridge, fruit juices, plentiful tea, coffee and bread (and croissants in France), cold meats, cheese and preserves, which is normally presented buffet-style for you to help yourself. On our staff’s one day off a week, only the continental breakfast will be provided.

Afternoon TeaThe traditional ‘welcome home’ after a day on the slopes will be laid out for you in your chalet or Chalet Hotel, ready for your return, every day except on the staff’s one day off per week. A good cup of tea or coffee is the perfect accompaniment to a delicious slice of freshly home-baked cake and keeps hungry skiers happy until dinner is ready. As an added benefit for guests in our Chalet Hotels, our chefs prepare a selection of cakes for afternoon tea.

Children’s High TeaIn Chalets and Chalet Hotels with family guests, High Tea provides children under 13 years with a healthy menu, tailored more towards children’s tastes and puréed food is available for infants on request. High Tea is at 5.30pm, and children do not join the main adult-only dinner.

Dinner in ChaletsA tasty and innovative, freshly cooked dinner will be prepared for you six nights per week by your Chalet Host – or by an experienced and professional chef in our larger chalets – and served with a choice of wines. Our four-course adult-only chalet dinners start with canapés and an apéritif, followed by an appetiser, main course and dessert, and completed by coffee with chocolates to round off your evening. Your choice of complimentary quality wines is unlimited during the meal service, and freshly chilled water is also of course always available.

Chalet Violetta Reviews

8 of us stayed in this chalet in first week in Jan 2009. We were very pleased with the accommodation, food etc. It is a ski in ski out chalet and pretty central. Rooms are O.K with good w/c, shower and, plenty of hot water.

Very good chalet with great access to the slopes 08/04/2011

Well positioned chalet, you can put your skis on at the door and ski in and out — with a very small amount of pushing to get you back home. Food was excellent, very good quality, wide variety and plenty of it. Canapes always disappeared quickly! Rooms were clean and with good ensuites. Living area comfy but not massive. Heated boot room and sauna are a definite bonus (though a hot tub as well would have been nice).

Resort has a huge range of slopes — it's a bit of a slog to get over to the Morzine slopes and back, but there's plenty to keep you occupied over towards the Swiss side.

Apres Ski: 4/5
